Maybe of interest and something a little different..... Garcia started a progressive bluegrass group called Old and In the Way in 1973..... Garcia banjo, Vasser Clement fiddle, Peter Rowan guitar, David Grisman mandolin, John Kahn bass, here is an example: Wild horses...

Sadly, my best friend from my youth committed suicide a few years ago. They played Ripple at his funeral so it has a special place in my heart.

This is the right answer. I also dig Shakedown Street.
Sugaree is the only song that never moves in my “top list.” The version on To Terrapin album is GOAT.
For today 2 and 3 would be Bertha and Althea.

I mean, really, a Top 3? Can not be done. I would be simply "posing for the camera" if I plucked three names out of the air and put them down. Even with thought, I would be changing my mind constantly as the songs register with me as my own life evolves and changes. Hell, even day to day, a song may register with me differently. But, I am glad to see others put some down.
I would have to state, Terrapin, So Many Roads and Althea/Wharf Rat all register deep for me. But, so many more I can cite.

to fill the air"

Exactly . That’s what makes the dead. Today is a he’s gone , when I paint my masterpiece type of day
Same here, but for the true aficionado’s, no one will admit it. To admit to a “commercialized” dead song is blasphemy.
Many are hitting google for the obscure.
Totally agree. Think it’s (Althea) probably the best D&C song.
Terrapin Station
Brokedown Palace
Standing on the Moon (surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet)

No offense Sir, but this answer should eliminate you from this discussion
You forgot The Other One = which i always thought was a little nod to how Bobby felt as compared to or with Jerry
Why? Because it is popular? You like what you like. It is a badass song. The “you aren’t authentic enough for me” BS exposes you a lot more than it does the guy who just likes the damned song.
I dig the hell out of the Dead, and know and have heard all the songs mentioned here. And TOG is one of my favorites too. Really cool changes and great solos.
Surprised I haven’t seen a morning dew . Morning dew 72 Lyceum theater is incredible
This list works for me with with an honorable mention to Brown Eyed Women and Smokestack Lightning.
